This captured the dignity and bravery I witness in Portlanders every day. Started tearing up reading it. From kids to elderly people, everyone showed bravery and a discipline to look out for their neighbors that day.
I love the people of this city so much.

ICE tear gassed a bunch of children on Saturday. This was a massive escalation of force. They were shooting tear gas at the back of the crowd, it took these unmasked people maybe 3-5 minutes in the cloud of tear gas to escape in without trampling. www.theverge.com/policy/87278...
ICE is afraid of children protesting
“Next time, I’ll be back with a gas mask.”

That goes for what’s happened in Palestine as well. The surveillance technology they tested on Palestinians is now being used against us at home. The imperial boomerang always comes back. The war always comes home.

Make no mistake, we are now seeing white American citizens being murdered by law enforcement because we never truly addressed the way our law enforcement treats Black Americans.
If we do not help each other, it’s only a matter of time before we all lose.

The Council President vote was messy. But we need to be clear on why this process did not need to unfold the way it did, and why we were met with a prolonged deadlock, repeated deflections into technicalities, and unwillingness to engage directly with the merits of leadership.

Racism isn’t just slurs or insults. It’s systems and decisions that consistently deny marginalized communities access to power, opportunity, stability, and dignity — often while pretending to be “neutral.” That’s what we’re actually talking about.
